Audio-Technica Introduces AT8657/LED Flush-mount
Microphone Socket with Contact Closure
— Socket can be programmed to trigger functions of external devices,
such as a camera’s pan/tilt or a lighting preset —
INFOCOMM, LAS VEGAS, NV, June 18, 2014 — Audio-Technica (Booth C10520), a leading innovator in transducer technology for over 50 years, introduces the AT8657/LED Flush-mount Microphone Socket with Contact Closure that brings convenience, control and superior audio to a variety of presentation environments. The AT8657/LED features a 360° Red/Green LED indicator ring, and it is part of Audio-Technica’s Engineered Sound™ (ES), available exclusively to contractors and system integrators.
The AT8657/LED Flush-mount Microphone Socket with Contact Closure allows users to add remote switch and LED functionality to a 21 mm phantom-powered gooseneck or button-style boundary microphone with a 3-pin XLRM output, including Audio-Technica’s ES945 and ES947 non-LED models. The socket is equipped with a 5-pin XLRM output for both audio and control functions. Its external contact closure capability enables control of remote devices, so user can easily trigger an external device (e.g., a camera or light) with the touch of the unit’s capacitance switch. The socket also features a lock switch that automatically engages the microphone upon insertion to securely hold it in place until the switch is manually released by user. Rubber isolation rings (and a metal retainer ring for use with gooseneck mics) are included to dampen surface vibrations. The 360° Red/Green LED indicator ring (indicating on/off function) is powered by the microphone’s phantom power, eliminating the need for an additional power source.
The AT8657/LED will be available August 2014 with a U.S. MSRP price of $298.
